Re: [H] Win10 Update Problems

Still no joy.  My next step may be to take a clean drive and try 
installing to that.  If that fails then it would have to be a hardware 
problem.

I discovered it by doing a clean install and found I broke updates

could  do the same - do a clean install onto a separate disk and 
verify Windows updates successfully, then start installing the 
software and drivers from your current system. From a USB key it's 
not too bad to do the Windows install now, the software and drivers 
is definitely the painful part.


I'd be surprised if there's actually a hardware incompatibility - 
it's possible but unlikely on hardware this recent.

I don't have a ramdisk implemented on this machine.  However, right now 
I'm uninstalling everything I haven't used for a while or don't want.  
Have to use a reg cleaner as one of the applications, Free Studio (my 
stupid fault to install it!) won't uninstall.


Thanks...Steve
